Background: Devon Diep
Tell us about your background and when did you discover you had a voice?
Growing up as a refugee child in Boston, I didn’t speak English comfortably until I was in high school. However, I discovered my voice very early on when my friends in elementary school would call me to hear me sing. I went on to pursue music in NYC and was there for 13 years. I’m excited to say that Hollywood has been my new home for the past four months!
Who are your favorite musicians?
Some of my favorite musicians are Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton, Adele, Lana Del Rey, Elvis, and Muse.
Devon Diep: The Musician
“One of my proudest moments was debuting as a singer/songwriter at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for writing and performing the title song, Green Dragon, for Martin Scorsese’s Revenge of the Green Dragons. I am looking forward to more milestones in the future!”
Devon Diep Hobbies
“I love to cook and can almost always guarantee a 5-star meal whenever I’m in the kitchen! I also love filmmaking & directing.”
How did you get into filmmaking & directing?
I fell in love with it while writing, acting and producing my short film music videos.
Have you ever dealt with performance anxiety?
Yes, but I am much better at tackling it now. I can channel the anxiety into growth to become a better performer. I always remind myself to kill it and have fun because I get to live out my dream!
What advice would you have for someone wanting to follow in your footsteps?
Art is not about being perfect. Don’t be afraid to explore ways to express yourself. Celebrate small wins. Don’t put a limit on your dreams. Most importantly, don’t give up too quickly.

Devon Diep & Kevin Kreider Relationship
“It has been a dream. Kevin and I feel blessed to have this second chance and for it to be celebrated at this level is something else! We are grateful to everyone for their love and support. Our love has grown. We are much better at communicating to each other this time around. We are excited to navigate this new phase of our lives together and cannot wait to see where it takes us!”
What does beauty mean to you?
Beauty is being kind to yourself and others.
Who inspires you?
Mother Nature has always been one of my biggest inspirations.
How would you describe success?
I feel successful whenever I can represent my Asian community and be the woman I wish to see in entertainment. I want to create an impact with ALLS Productions by sharing my unique storytelling in music and film, hoping to inspire others to do the same. However, no matter where I am in life, success to me is having gratitude.
Why is gratitude so important?
Practicing gratitude helps me develop positive energy and stay focused on my missions regardless of what life throws at me. I never want to lose sight that I have so much to be grateful for every day despite the many challenges. Having gratitude is a beautiful way to celebrate the magical things and wonderful people who have come into my life.
